supercharged, bus engine Options

[grasshopper]

anyone ever tried to turbo charge or supercharge a bus engine? anyone know if they sell turbochargers or superchargers for bus engines. I have heard of the judson supercharged engines but i dont think they still make those. I think it would be pretty neat to have a turbo 914. Just imagine looing at the back of a 914 "914 turbo" I've got a few bus engines sitting around here and a few engine-less 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

on the question of supercharging... How abouts do you compensate extra fuel injection for that? Or do you run the extra intake off of a carburetor? I could see having to make an extra bracket, find a place to mount the supercharger, fab up an intake manifold, and all the extras... Jake, how hard was your "kit"? Last i heard Aaron has a low compression 1.7 soon to be in his posession. With access to some sheetmetal tools i think we could work something...

for extra fuel=no different than a turbo....you ditch the stock FI and go with an aftermarket programable setup.....or use CIS like the few 914 turbos on the list are doing...

for driving of the supercharger, just copy how the dealer/aftermarket installed the airconditioning compressor...a better belt system would be needed since I doubt that skinny little belt could drive a supercharger, but for low boost applications, it might work???
